Funded Activity Summary

Practical Aesthetics: A Study in Understanding Real Events through Contemporary Art. This project advances the concept of practical aesthetics to demonstrate how art is of direct benefit to both the academic and wider community, furnishing concrete techniques that enable us to apprehend and understand key social and political events. It engenders an exhibition, public symposia, a workshop with student/international participation, and a book/articles, presenting Australian art in an international framework. The project extends the discipline base of art history, promoting and facilitating the use of art in other disciplines and in debates on events relating to issues of national importance (including border control, Reconciliation, and environmental disaster).
